Generations

Some of you might have noticed our blogs haven't been updated quite as quickly as we would like lately. Blame in on our special section - the upcoming Hometown Generations insert. We have spent a lot of time working on these stories about Fairmont businesses that have been passed down from generation to generation to generation. I found the process fascinating. As a Fairmont "outsider" I did not realize how many business are not only local, but have stood the test of time. Then to talk to the families and see the pictures of their business, and our town, growing; to hear the pride in their voices as they talk about being committed to the community, and to see their humility as nearly each one honored the generation that came before them was really something to see. I hope you enjoy the stories when they come out. We worked hard on them.
